I’m only kidding, sort of. I expected there to be the occasional feed shut down. At 12:50pm, the feeds cut to the screen above. This is probably because production is telling them to go outside, and possibly giving them a few instructions and some Q&A for the competition. I don’t think production wants to be aired actually replying to people, so I guess they have to cut that part. Who knows?

It’s still pretty lame that they cut the feeds, but it’s likely only for a few minutes rather than a few hours like the summer episodes. Let’s start with the updates..

Veto Updates:

12:50pm – Feeds cut to prep for the veto comp that should be happening in 10 minutes

1:00pm – Ok, Shane is reading directions. I guess there is something going on in the house right now and the house has to find a clue that will help unlock the safe

Now they stand around waiting awkwardly for the house to tell them to start

1:05pm – House is open and the people are in looking around!

The players are running around the house looking for a clue

Good thing James isn’t playing, he’d be the guy to tear apart the house becuase he thinks that’s what we want to see

Whitney is staring at the fish bowl on the chess board, while CB is looking through the fridge (it has ‘VETO’ magnet on it)

Danielle is going to take a crack at the safe….Fail

It seems like there are 4 numbers around the house they have to find

Cornbread tries…. Fail

Danielle tries ….. Fail

Whitney fails

Alex fails

Monte tries 9144, so it’s clear they’re going to go with those 4 numbers and re-order them

Whitney goes.. 1943 (maybe not)

Monte 1539… so I guess they’re not staying with those 4. Whatever. Back into the house Monte and Whitney go

Cornbread 3449 fail

Whitney 9143 fail

Cornbread fail, fail fail fail. Everyone is doing 9

1:15pm – Ok, this may take awhile, and the buzzing every incorrect answer is painful

It seems some of the numbers are 4492 (as people are guessing) but they may need the right order

The rest of the house are watching from the sidelines

1:30pm – The house is pretty much going by the numbers of random things. I don’t think it will be that easy. Like, the goldfish probably represent something crazy

Plate settings on the table… two are offset, and one is set on the upper table. There’s also a bowl of new fish on the chess table. There are new flowers in the hall area with the other flowers. The word “V-E-T-O” is spelled out in magnetic letters on the fridge.

Plastics do not like Danielle and Danielle may not have Shelby’s vote. Shelby doesn’t trust Danielle because Danielle waited a day to tell the hg she has a child. Shelby has also said that Danielle has to finish a sentence even when someone cuts her off.

Excuse me? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that Shelby was entitled to know all of the HGs personal and family business within 24 hours of them moving into the house. I guess Danielle must’ve missed that rule in the BB handbook… Shelby has some damn nerve for saying that.

Monte reminds me of Colby. He even says…At the end of the day. Monte also reminds me of Paulie because he is headstrong.
Cornbread is headstrong too. If Cornbread is HOH it would image Monte’s HOH. Two Paulie’s in the house is not good regardless.
Shane can be swayed by the guys. Kinda the same way Corey was when it was DE and Corey wanted the guys to tell him what to do. Morgan and Shelby said Shane is smarter than he lets on.
Scott is not trusted by the late night group. Shelby and Morgan do not think he is a debt collector.
I am glad Cornbread is OTB because that alliance needed the jolt. Maybe the alliance will pull away from Cornbread if they piece together why America really voted Cornbread OTB. Cornbread isn’t a target.
Cornbread said a little after midnight that Shelby is bipolar.
Plastics want to split Monte and Shane apart. They don’t know the pull that Cornbread has with Monte. They also do not trust Shane.
Guy alliance think Shelby and Justin are wild cards.
Shelby has no idea how the house feels about her. I have noticed that she does ask a lot of questions. Scott said this morning that Shelby is snaking around. Monte said that Shelby doesn’t fit in anywhere.

I just don’t get it. Why did Monte want to be HOH so bad if he’s too afraid of “putting a target on his back” to do anything other than “the easy thing to do”. I predict an early exit for this numbskull.

Randon tisbits from before and after the veto comp today:
*Shane wants Krissi put up and gave Monte just a touch of an “I told you so” moment.
*CB offers up suggestions and Shane shoots him down. He has let them know that Danielle better not be going home and Krissi should have gone up in the first place. (Difference of opinion here- CB actually likes Krissi so obviously prefers Shelby go up)
*Danielle told Monte she would rather go up against Shelby than Krissi.(this happened after the cb, Shane Monte convo)
*Danielle told Monte she had all the numbers right in the comp but only wrong order. (This isn’t true)
*Monte accidentally let’s Danielle know that Shane knew about her going OTB.
*Monte tells Danielle she is safe because she is connected to Shane and then shortly after tells her she went up for that same reason. ( dude is dumber than a box of rocks)
*Morgan is telling Monte that Shelby will vote with them if Krissi is the replacement. (Probably true)
*Monte is alone and giving serious thought to putting up Justin as the replacement. He feels he really needs Jason and Justin gone.
*CB’s latest theory is that America may put up their favorite players because they want to see them compete. Scott won’t tell CB but he did tell Alex that no way in hell is that true basically.
* Justin was somewhat irritated that 4 people worked together during the comp and left Jason and Danielle on their own. He really is the Kumbaya and pass the joint kind of guy.
* Shelby was hugging Jason in the kitchen after the comp and obviously happy he won in front of her group on the other side . Shelby really is on the outside of the girls thing because this morning she thought Morgan and Alex may want to keep Jason.
* Shelby has suggested to the girls that keeping Justin around longer is a good idea too. They aren’t arguing with her but it’s obvious they aren’t feeling it.
